The birth of the nation state gave rise to states whose borders were on a certain territory and markedly isolated from other states by the power of a central power. Globalization, on the other hand, started to make itself felt strongly after the 1980s as a phenomenon that eliminates the distance with its reality that transcends borders in economic, political and social terms to this isolation of the nation state. In a century where there were debates such as the full nation-state disappearing or evolving into regional nation-states, the Covid-19 pandemic had a serious blow to this and imprisoned both states and people in isolation. With this epidemic, it was clearly understood how important the control of borders and therefore the structure of the nation-state is. Until the Covid-19 outbreak began, there were many periods of crisis that questioned our assumptions that globalization is good. The 1997-98 Asian crisis is like the 2008 crisis. However, the Covid-19 outbreak seems to have been disappointing even for those who argue that the inevitable march of globalization cannot be reversed. Because with this epidemic, even if the nation-state does not return in its Westphalian form, it is returning strongly. The aim of this study is to analyze how the relationship between nation states and globalization will follow with the Covid-19 pandemic. Qualitative research method based on literature review was used in the study.
